It’s Friday and we are set for a scorcher of a weekend, what could be better, just make sure you have your factor 50 at the ready!

Not only is it nearly the weekend but it is also World Youth Skills Day which has been celebrated every 15^th July since the UN established it back in 2014. The holiday was initiated to celebrate and raise awareness surrounding the importance of equipping our youth and young workers with the skills for future employment and entrepreneurship.

More and more young people are choosing to stay in education for longer, which is a great thing, but it does mean the youth labour population is shrinking, therefore those who are available are more in demand than ever before. Not only that but on a global scale it takes on average a young person over a year to find a suitable, stable job according to the International Labour Organisation. If you or someone you know is struggling to figure out their next step since finishing education we can help.

Here at JR Personnel we celebrate our younger candidates and try to offer them as much guidance as possible when registering with us, including CV writing tips, interview coaching and regular emails and calls to keep in touch once  placed in a role. We have worked with many of our clients for decades so have a strong relationship and understanding of what kind of candidate will be a great personality fit. Even if you don't have any work experience yet we can assess personality wise you will be a great fit for certain companies and can impress this upon our clients, resulting in more opportunities.
